Mom is doing just fine. They had a doctor's appointment here in Dallas on Columbus Day; we had taken that opportunity to take an extended weekend (we both took Friday off) to fly to NYC to see the boys, so we missed them all around!
When I called Mom, she indicated the appointment had gone well but she wished it had gone better. The doctor is changing therapy again, but says she is improving; just not as fast as Mom wants to improve. They have another appointment in December; so they will be here in November for Thanksgiving, December for appointments, and late December for Christmas! We are excited to have them back!
However, other news is not so good. Pam's mom (we moved them here from Midland in 2008) has been feeling ill for the past 2-3 weeks, and has been getting more and more feeble and had more dementia problems in the past six months. On Monday, Pam went to see her and she had not eaten in 2 days; she was too weak to get to the car, so they called the ambulance. After many tests, they told the family yesterday that she had late stage pancreatic cancer; the prognosis was three months at the most. However, they are checking her out of the hospital tonight to go directly into hospice. We think it may be more like three weeks...
We are flying the grandsons home tomorrow; we hope they make it in time.
Please keep us and especially Pam's father Arnold Adams and brother Mike in your thoughts and prayers. They are devastated and she seems to be failing fast.
